    On that performance, he truly is unstoppable. His form this season has been amazing, the heart and soul of this city side imo; if he keeps it up he will be the EPL POTY by a country mile

    Never in a million years. Apart from Messi and Majstorovic, Iniesta is the best dribbler in the world. Silva is the best player in England but he's not even close to Iniesta.

    It's closer than you think imo.

    Obviously stats don't tell the whole story but here are some interesting stats.

    Silva who played for a fairly poor Valencia side outscores Iniesta in League football, International football and they are equal on European football.

    Silva Games(Goals)

    League-232(37), Cups-18(3), Europe-38(7), International-52(13).
    Total-340(60)

    Iniesta

    League-248(25), Cups-35(2), Europe-76(7), International-61(10).
    Total-420(44)

    Silva has 74 assists in 288 games. Iniesta has 38 assists in 359 games.
    (Club games)

    Bearing in mind Silva is 2 years younger, hasn't played with players of Barca's quality and has played 80 games less than Iniesta.

    If Silva played for Barca I think he would be held in a much higher regard. Not because everyone loves Barca, just because they and their players have done it all over the years and it's hard to argue with that.

    I would perfer Silva tbh. Top player. :50:

    Silva isn't in the same league as Iniesta.

    Yes, Silva's in the Premiership and Iniesta is La Liga.

    Good to know you've been paying attention the last couple of years.

    I really think it's quite close between Silva and Iniesta.

    Agreed, at this moment in time he is a long way ahead.

    In the form he is in at the moment, only messi, xavi, iniesta and ronaldo come close to him

    Majstorovic is a * top class dribbler.

    That's why they refuse to serve him soup in the cafeteria.

    Great to watch, would love to have seen him for Barcelona. Suprised Barca never signed him and Mata really.

    They don't need either of them due to them already having superior players.
